EDIT1: go for z97, unless you have a older processor and don't mind updating the BIOS

 

EDIT2: Don't get that SSD, and don't get 120gb SSD cuz they normaly tend to be slower

 

EDIT3: Get an Aircooler, like an NH-U9S, or a NH-D15 if you're going to overclock

so you have a 1000 dollar budget, and you put a 2 core pentium in it? WRONG. Get atleast an i5

The build or me frogetting the link?

^^

 

Though, get a i5 4460, really, if you, let's say, want to play FC4 you would have to "patch" the game to be able to play it on a dual core

If your not going to overclock, this is going to be fine. The 1231v3 will give you an I7 performance for $100 less, additionally the 390 will give you plenty of good performance, let it be 1080p or higher. Plus and ssd and a quality antec psu to boot.
